After the Golden Globes went untelevised in 2022, they returned to NBC in 2023 with hosting by Jerrod Carmichael. The early awards were exciting, with Ke Huy Quan winning Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture for All everywhere at once with a speech reflecting how far he’s come since starring in cursed temple and Angela Bassett make history as Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture for Black Panther: Wakanda All the time. Then the show got dumber when the white lotus Star Jennifer Coolidge took the stage for what turned out to be more or less stand-up comedy, but some spectators weren’t happy as the show continued.
Jennifer Coolidge wowed an audience of celebrities and other industry professionals at the Golden Globes when she took the stage in her shimmering Dolce & Gabbana gown to present…after telling a long (and easy) story of being initially nervous about because he thought he would trip and fall. She joked that she was advised to wear Crocs to avoid falling and was concerned about mispronouncing celeb names (particularly yelling at Bill Nighy and Kaley Cuoco). She had nearly four minutes before presenting the award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Musical, Comedy or Drama Series to A.elementary blowThere’s Tyler James Williams, and everyone seemed to love him.
At the time, fan reactions on social media seemed positive, so Coolidge took the time to turn his ramblings into something pretty funny. in the minutes that followed, however, some viewers disputed how much time she had. When the Golden Globe for Best Song in a Motion Picture went to MM Keeravani for “Vaatu Vaatu” in RRRhis speech was interrupted and discouraged by music, and he was only the first of several winners to be eliminated before they could finish their speeches.
Now, obviously, it’s not Jennifer Coolidge’s fault that the music to play the winners started when she did, but some viewers commented on Twitter that she got nearly four minutes as host and the winners were cut. @AreyouthereZod Posted after Keeravani’s cut:
Listen, I love Jennifer Coolidge, but if you can go out and monologue for 5 minutes before introducing the nominees, people can finish their speeches #GoldenGlobes
After the winners’ speeches ended, some opinions about the funny nature of the monologue began to turn much more negative. @dani_marie21 It didn’t stop at what they had to say:
Did the #GoldenGlobes really cut Naatu Naatu after winning Best Original Song after leaving Jennifer Coolidge babbling nonsense for what felt like an hour?
The consensus among detractors seems to be more that Coolidge had too much time, not that there was anything wrong with his getting some It’s time for jokes at the Golden Globes. @simonsayssing he wrote:
I love Jennifer Coolidge as much as the next gay guy, but you let her talk for like 15 minutes about nothing and cut out someone who just won their first Golden Globe before their list of thanks is over.
The prevailing view overall seems to be that MM Keeravani simply deserves the time to speak, especially as this win highlights RRR as a project that all viewers at home may not know about before the Golden Globes. @KelliWessels said:
If Jennifer Coolidge hadn’t said anything, this handsome man who just won for his song wouldn’t have been eliminated. He deserved his acceptance time like everyone else. #golden balloons
None of this is to say Jennifer Coolidge hasn’t been a hit for many, with some viewers suggesting they’re ready to hear the actress showcase their life and get more screen time. There’s no denying he had a good laugh and Jerrod Carmichael was as excited as anyone when he took the stage. I really liked his list of ways performance went wrong when he first took the stage.
After the shocking end of his character in the white lotus Season 2, I think I can safely say that, for better or for worse, his speech will be one of the most memorable and talked about moments at the 80th Golden Globe Awards! She even got a shout out from Ryan Murphy in his speech later that night.
